Time-Slipping With The Courtesan: Edo-Moiselle

 
Back in the day, a character from the Edo Period timeslipping to our era was novel idea, with people in dramas like Samurai High School and Nobunaga Concerto making a big deal out of a historical person right before their eyes!
But with dramas like the recent Yudai Chiba drama “Iine! Hikaru Genji-kun”, these occurrences seem to be a dime a dozen and citizens are quick to accept the idea and move on!
Such is the latest time-slipping drama “Edomoiselle” with Yui Okada as Senka, an Edo period courtesan who jumps to our era, meets the awkward boy Shunsuke (Shono Hayama) and begins living with his family and working at a coffee cafe with him until the time she can get back home.
Very lightweight drama with Senka using her skills in this modern world to help Shunsuke and his friends like Izumi Kasuga (Ayako Yoshitani) see the light!
Yui Okada is surely becoming one of the most hilarious character actresses out there!
As always I'm amazed at how she can fluctuate from girly girls to tuff tomboys in a heartbeat!
